Pathway Towards Optical Cycling and Laser Cooling of Functionalized Arenes
Debayan Mitra, Zack D. Lasner, Guo-Zhu Zhu +8
Rapid and repeated photon cycling has enabled precision metrology and the development of quantum information systems using a variety of atoms and simple molecules. Extending optica…

Direct Laser Cooling of a Symmetric Top Molecule
Debayan Mitra, Nathaniel B. Vilas, Christian Hallas +6
We report direct laser cooling of a symmetric top molecule, reducing the transverse temperature of a beam of calcium monomethoxide (CaOCH) to mK while addressing tw…

1D Magneto-Optical Trap of Polyatomic Molecules
Louis Baum, Nathaniel B. Vilas, Christian Hallas +4
We demonstrate a 1D magneto-optical trap of the polar free radical calcium monohydroxide (CaOH). A quasi-closed cycling transition is established to scatter photons per…
